Inner Relationship and the Art of Facilitative Language
Presented by Ann Weiser Cornell, PhD on 07-16-2010 at 9 a.m. Pacific to 10:30 a.m. Pacific (1:30 p.m. Eastern)
People in psychotherapy need an accepting relationship with their own emotions and felt senses if positive change is to happen. Therapists can facilitate an inner relationship with the person in treatment that allows for acceptance, curiosity, and exploration. But how does one do that when people are caught up in states of emotional overwhelm and/or dissociation?
Inner Relationship Focusing is a somatically-based process for emotional healing and positive growth, developed by Ann Weiser Cornell and Barbara McGavin from the Focusing work of Eugene Gendlin. In this presentation, Ann will demonstrate how to use simple shifts in language and attention to help people in therapy move into the present moment and access a friendly, witnessing state with their own emotional material, becoming neither overwhelmed nor dissociated. These respectful interventions can be combined with any form of therapy for even greater effectiveness.
